Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Gear Mechanism, for Motor Cycles, Tricars and the like.
Inventor: HOOKE ARTHUR EDWARD
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1911-11-16
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 25,535. Hooke, A. E. Nov. 16. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing.-In a two-speed epicyclic gear in which one of the members may be engaged with the hub by a multiple-plate clutch to give a direct drive, or may be stationed by a friction clutch, preferably of the multiple-plate type, to give a geared drive, the operation of the clutches is provided for without rendering displacement of the planet-carrier necessary. Figs. 1 and 2 show a construction applied to the hub of a motor - cycle. The gearing comprises (1) a driving gear-wheel a attached to a carrier b forming the boss of the driving belt pulley; (2) several pairs of planetary pinions C, C' carried by the road-wheel hub h, the two pinions of any pair meshing with one another, and the smaller pinions C meshing with the driving-member a; and (3) a gear-wheel d meshing with the larger planet pinions C', and secured to a carrier e adapted to be clutched to the hub h or to a stationary member m. Bars e<1> secured to the carrier e carry a number of clutch plates f interleaved with plates g mounted in the hub h. The bars e<1> also carry a number of plates p interleaved with plates o mounted on the stationary member m. The gear is controlled by an operating-member r movable longitudinally of the axle. When the member r is in its righthand position, the springs e<2> put into engagement the clutch member connecting the bars e<1> and the hub h. When the member r is moved to the left, it first disengages the clutch through the medium of sliding keys m<3>, a ring s and a plate f<1>. Further movement of the member r causes the end plate p<1> of the stationary clutch to abut against shoulders on the bars e', thus holding the carrier e against rotation. Longitudinal movement of the operating-member r is effected by a rotary adjustment of the member r<1> having cam surfaces on its inner face. The pedal chain sprocket n<1> is secured to a sleeve n, the other end of which may drive the belt-pulley hub b through a ratchet clutch n<2>, for the purpose of starting the engine. The central fixed axle w is bored for lubrication. In a modification, the driving-member is secured to a countershaft, and the driven member consists of a shell in the form of a belt pulley or chainwheel.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Pistols.
Inventor: THONNART TOUSSAINT
IPC: F41A3/86
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 6267. Thonnart, T. March 13. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to automatic pistols of the kind that have no positive lock, and consists (a) in connecting the abutment rod of the return spring to the breechbolt by a sliding spring joint, to form a buffer, and (b) in providing a pivoted bolt stop which engages the sear, so that when, in disassembling and assembling the weapon, the bolt stop is depressed, the sear is also depressed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Actuating Mechanism of Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1912-04-15
Granted: 1913-04-15
Abstract: 8893. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. April 15. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to regulated control-devices for the motors of power-operated breech mechanism. According to the invention, the control-device is under the influence of two rotary cams, driven by the motor, whereby it is moved so as to regulate the power of the motor, during both.the opening and closing operations, in accordance with the requirements of the various phases of the operations. In the form shown in Fig. 1, two grooves C<1>, C<2> are formed in a cam-plate C which plate is rotatable in a fixed bracket c by a worm gear driven by the breech-motor A. A roller b carried by the hand-lever B of the control-valve B<Î> engages in the grooves, and is shown in the neutral position between the grooves. The groove C<1>, which is partly concentric with the plate C, and is partly spiral as at C<1Î> controls the lever B during the opening of the breech, and the groove C<2> which is irregular at C<2Î> and concentric at C<2> controls the closing. For opening the breech, the roller b is withdrawn by a bell-crank device on the hand-lever B, and the hand-lever is moved to the left and the roller b is permitted to engage in the concentric part of the groove C'. The motor is started at full power to unseat the obturator, but during the swinging aside of the carrier the power is progressively reduced by the spiral part C<1Î> of the groove until the lever B is returned to the cut-off position. For closing, the lever and roller are moved to the right of the position shown, the roller being withdrawn again to permit its passage over a movable stop into the inner end of the irregular groove C<2Î>. The moderate power at which the motor is thus started is first reduced, as the inertia of the swinging parts is overcome, but afterwards, when the roller enters the concentric groove C<2>, the motor runs at full power to perform the locking-rotation of the breechscrew. A second cam-device controls the movable stop so that, at the end of the locking- movement, the roller h is automatically lifted out of the groove, and the lever B is restored rapidly to the normal position by the stop.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Filling Cartridge Belts.
IPC: F42B39/10
Filed: 1912-06-26
Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 14,954. Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken. June 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Cartridge belts. - Relates to machines for filling cartridge belts, and consists in providing means which grip the belt on each side of the pockets as the cartridges are inserted therein, and also effect the intermittent feed motion of the belt. In the form shown in vertical longitudinal section in Fig. 6, a hand-driven shaft 2, mounted in the casing 1, rotates four drums 3, 4, 5, 6 which are shaped, grooved, or recessed to effect respectively (a) the reciprocation parallel to the shaft 2 of a slide 7, (b) the oscillation of a lever 13 pivoted at 14 to the slide 7, (c) the reciprocation parallel to the shaft 2 of a slide 8, (d) the oscillation of a lever 19 pivoted at 22 to the slide 8. The shaft 2 carries a cam 23 adapted to reciprocate a vertical spring-controlled slide 25, and a crank 29 which, through a cross-head 42 sliding in a vertical slot 31 in a member 32, causes this member to reciprocate in an horizontal direction perpendicular to the shaft 2. A pocket-opening pin 33, shown in plan in Fig. 4, is mounted on a member 36 adapted to slide parallel to the shaft 2 on the member 32 and perpendicular to the shaft 2 on an extension 37 of the slide 8. The belt 41 is first placed in the machine in such a position that a cartridge, loaded by hand, rests to the immediate left of the claw 40 of the lever 13, and the shaft 2 is rotated until the belt is nipped between the end of the lever 19 and the slide 8. The arrangement of the drums is such that in this position the belt on the other side of the cartridge is nipped between the claw 40 and the slide 25. On rotating the shaft, the belt is fed to the right by the motion of the slides 7 and 8, and the slide 25 is depressed into its lower position. When the slide 7 has reached its extreme position, both slides stop, the claw 40 is raised, and then moves back with the slide 7 until it is above the cartridge, when it descends, and simultaneously the slide 25 rises and grips the belt as before. The slide 8 now completes its motion to the right, and at the same time the member 32 is oscillated to cause the pin 33 to enter and open the belt pocket to the immediate left of the cartridge. Another cartridge is then fed from a hopper to the cartridge carrier 34, which is integral with the member 32, and on the return movement of this member is forced into the open pocket, the gripping-devices holding the belt firmly. The lever 19 now rises, moves with its slide 8 to its extreme left position, and descends to grip the belt on the left of the next pocket. The above series of operations is then repeated. The gripping-devices may have pin points, and the drums 3, 4, 5, 6 may be replaced by a single combination drum.
